Our Story

Waypoint Dog Training was born from founder Gage Toussaint's transition from Air Force service to discovering his true passion for canine behavior and training. As a proud Texas native, Gage brought the same precision, discipline, and commitment to excellence from his military background into building a dog training business that Lubbock families could rely on.

Over the past three years, we've grown through word-of-mouth recommendations and the trust of pet owners who've witnessed firsthand how our methods transform their dogs' behavior and strengthen family bonds. Each of the 150-plus dogs we've trained has taught us something new, continuously refining our approach and expertise.

From the sprawling ranch properties on Lubbock's outskirts to cozy homes in the historic Overton neighborhood, we understand how West Texas living shapes the unique training needs of dogs in our community. Whether your pup needs to learn proper behavior around livestock or simply master basic obedience in your backyard, we adapt our methods to fit your lifestyle.

We've established deep roots in the Lubbock community as a family-owned, veteran-led business that locals trust with their most beloved companions.
